My (new to me) boat has homemade cleats in place with no bungee and a Coleman cooler. I have the wood, 3/8" bungee and hog rings in addition to the 94 qt. Igloo and new clamps for the bungee from Twin Cities. I noticed Twin Cities mentioned a "spring" and Specialty Marine photo shows a "S" ring in the cooler cleat assemblies they sell. Can anyone shed any light on these 2 items. I just planned to put the bungee through the 13/32" hole and figured a loop with a hog ring around it will be captive in the 1" hole cavity in the cleat. I also think I'll have to determine the length of the bungee loop by trial and error. I think I also read the originals were mahogany. Any hints would be appreciated.

To anchor the bungee, I just knotted the ends with an overhand knot or two. Hasn't come out yet.. Regarding the cooler end of things, I just inserted a small stainless steel carabiner or snap-hook onto the hole on the cooler. The bungee is held securely, and I have spare 'biners in case I need them. Route the bungee over the cooler handles to keep them from banging while bouncing. I did end up making the cleats out of teak. The original mahogany was somewhat deteriorated. Dennis 1985 Outrage 18 with Suzuki DF140A

I suggest everyone take a quick look through the OEM Part photos on this site to familiarize themselves with what is there. Who knows, you may see a part you didn't know existed. http://www.whalercentral.com/viewpage...page_id=69 Like this one: Igloo Cooler Hooks made by Boston Whaler http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...hoto_id=41
